Hello
Welcome to the board. Echo Bay is my personal favorite. I have found it to be successful most of the times I am there. I like Echo because usually there are not alot of people there during the week. You can rent boats from the marina if you need one. It is only about a 10 minute ride in my boat to Overton beach area where I have always been successful. Stewart's point is even closer going north. I have also went south right around the first mountain 5 minutes from dock and caught Lg mouth,small mouth bass and stripers. I have fished at 33 hole crawdad cove boulder beach areas. While I have been successful at times I have been skunked down there too. For me the drive is only about 20 more miles to Echo than Hemminway. Echo is my most favorite place on Lk Mead. On Thursday this week 2 friends and I are headed to South cove out of Meadview AZ for a couple of days. 2 years ago we caught so may stripers we were throwing them back. I have only caught 3 lg Stripers. 1 -17lb off the bank at Willow beach, 1-6 lb out of Echo bay and a 5 lb out of Temple bar. Everything else is 1-3 lbs. I did catch a 10.9 lb cat out of Echo that NDOW put in their trophy fish book this year. Though its a bummer not catching fish, its still beats working! Echo Bay gets my vote for favorite spot. The workers at the marina usually have good fishing info too. They are open to where the hot spot is and what people are using to catch.
